WREXHAM manager Denis Smith yesterday warned against complacency and pre-promotion euphoria ahead of this afternoon's Bank Holiday clash with relegation-battling Carlisle United at the Racecourse.

The Dragons' 2-0 win at Kidderminster Harriers on Saturday, coupled with the slip by rivals Bournemouth at Hull City, has given Smith's men a four-point cushion in the third automatic promotion spot, but he said: "There are other teams that can catch us if we don't win any of our four last games.

"That's not likely to happen because the way we are playing at the moment the lads go out thinking they can win every game. But Carlisle are not a bad side.

"They have some good players - one or two of whom I wouldn't mind having in my team - and they are fighting for their league survival. They have already beaten us once this season so we have to make sure it doesn't happen again."

But Smith, who recognises that his side are now odds-on favourites to take the third automatic promotion place, added: "It will be pleasing if we go up, but I would have preferred to have won the championship," he added.

"We are not there yet, though, and it's only if and when we do go up that I will be able to say how much of an achieve-ment it's been."

Racecourse official are expecting a bumper crowd this afternoon but the Dragons boss, who was delighted with the number of away fans at Aggborough, has his doubts. "I've given up trying to get them in."

Darren Ferguson, who went off on Saturday with a dead leg, will have a fitness test this morning but Scott Green, Andy Morrell, Carlos Edwards and Dennis Lawrence, who all collected slight knocks, are expected to take their places in the starting line-up.
